Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus H225 is a twin‑engine helicopter best suited to vertical‑lift missions and offshore or rescue work rather than long fixed‑wing travel. It typically carries roughly 19 passengers and has a practical range on the order of about 500–700 nautical miles depending on fit and reserves. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a pressurized twin‑turboprop optimized for regional missions, commonly seating about 6–9 passengers in executive layouts, with an extended range around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet aimed at longer intercity and transcontinental flying; it generally accommodates 13 passengers (often marketed up to 14) and reaches roughly 3,900–4,000 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental missions, typically arranged for about 13–19 passengers, with a range around 7,500 nautical miles. Overall, the comparison moves from vertical access and short range (H225), to efficient regional turboprop travel (360ER), to long‑range large‑cabin jet capability (650E), and finally to the highest‑end intercontinental performance and cabin space (G700).
